Jurassic 5 – ‘Quality Control’ Vinyl Back In Stock

by mikeshinobi

We got this item back in stock in May and within a couple of weeks it was gone. However, now we just got back in this 15 year anniversary re-issue vinyl! From singles like the strutting groove of the title track to the throwback doo-wop samples on “The Influence” and the catchy, keyboard groove-driven “World of Entertainment (WOE Is Me),” to deeper album tracks like the lyrical gymnastics of “Jurass Finish First” and the thought-provoking “Lausd,” Jurassic 5 consistently stepped up to the plate and their fans responded in kind, nearly pushing the album to Gold status.CD also available.

by mikeshinobi

Sold out since mid-December! This is one of the more underrated and possibly top 5 fully-realized political hip-hop albums of all time. If you don’t agree with the previous sentence, give Let’s Get Free another listen… you might be surprised at how well it has held up over the years.CD also available.

Big Pun – ‘Capital Punishment’ Vinyl Back In Stock

by mikeshinobi

Sold out since December! Big Pun remains on the best rappers ever list to this day. Reasons for this weigh (pun?) largely on his debut Capital Punishment. His commanding voice and rapid fire delivery make it clear there will never be another Big Pun. Pun was New York. His confidence on the mic made him stand out among his contemporaries. Similarly, the production — by a cast of many – remains ever so New York loyal.CD also available.

by mikeshinobi

Re-issue of this classic, now on clear vinyl! Powerful double album that still resonates with Golden Era hip-hop fans: 16 cuts deep and full of intelligence, fire and warmth. Coming in at 16 tracks, this LP features “I Got A Love”, “I Get Physical”, “The Main Ingredient” “Take You There” and so many other classic tracks.

Pete Rock & CL Smooth – ‘All Souled Out’ Clear Vinyl Pre-Order

by mikeshinobi

All Souled Out officially introduced Pete Rock & CL Smooth to the hip hop listening community, and it is hard to imagine a stronger or more confident introduction. The “Good Life” starts things off with its perfect mix of horns and catchy bassline, while CL lays his trademark flow while speaking of the pros and cons of wealthiness. Next up is the standout “Mecca & the Soul Brother” which shows the duo at their best – hard pounding drums, signature horns (which will become Pete’s trademark) and CL on the mic. By the time the smooth flute of “Go with the Flow” comes in it’s clear why this is one of the most important EP releases of the 90s. Don’t forget “The Creator” as well!

Re-issue of the critically acclaimed 1992 full-length debut from Pete Rock & CL Smooth. The album is considered as one of the greatest hip hop albums of all time. Boasting tracks such as the first single, “They Reminisce Over You (T.R.O.Y.)” (considered one of hip hop’s greatest songs). At nearly 80 minutes long, not a single song or interlude is a throwaway or a superfluous piece.CD also available.
